Expertise

We have a special focus on metabolic traits, such as novel detoxification mechanisms, and diseases like obesity.

Research Interests:

  • Mechanisms of Phenotypic Variation
  • A Drosophila Model for Metabolic Syndrome
  • Evolutionary Genetics of Speciation

My research interests lie at the intersection of quantitative genetics and population genetics, where I explore the evolution of complex traits such as metabolic disease that are the result of multiple genetic effects and the environment.
